Easy to Make Italian Steak Recipe (a.k.a. Steak Pizzaiola)

Weekdays get but if you’re like me and still are wanting to get a great meal on the table for your family then this steak pizzaiola will deliver.

In addition, the great part about steak pizzaiola is that it uses few ingredients which you are most likely to have already laying around the house.

Ingredients for this Recipe:

• 2 8-ounce striploin or sirloin steaks cut in half width wise.
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 peeled small diced yellow onion
• 4 finely minced cloves of garlic
• ¾ cup pinot grigio (optional)
• 10-12 peeled, seeded and roughly chopped fresh vine ripe tomatoes (or 2-28 ounce cans san Marzano tomatoes)
• 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
• sea salt and pepper to taste

Serves 4

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Procedures:

1. Place the sliced steak in between 2 pieces of plastic wrap or butchers’ paper and pound using a mallet until it is half as thick as the original slice. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Add olive oil to a large frying pan or rondeau pot over medium heat.
3. Once the oil begins to lightly smoke add in the steaks and cook for 2 to 2 ½ minutes per side or until browned. You may have to do this in batches depending on how big the pan is. Remove the steak from the pan.
4. Add the onions and garlic to the pan and roast for 6-8 minutes or until browned.
5. Deglaze with wine and cook until most of it has been absorbed, there should be 2 to 3 tablespoons left in the pan.
6. Add in the tomatoes and stew over medium-low heat for 20 minutes or until the sauce is thick and the tomatoes have broken down. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Add the steaks to the top of the tomato sauce, place a lid on and cook for 5 to 6 minutes to warm the steak back up.
8. Finish by stirring in some fresh oregano and serve.

CHEF NOTES:

• Pizza sauce in the Napolitano region of Italy is a simple tomato sauce not the thick tomato paste style pizza sauce that we know in America.
• You can also use cuts such as striploin, beef tenderloin, flank steak or round steak.
• To concasse a tomato cut out the stem and slice an x in the bottom of the tomato. Boil in water for :45 to :60 seconds and then immediately cool in an ice bath for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skin, slice in half and squeeze out as many seeds as possible and then roughly chop.
• If you are using dry oregano, put it in when the tomatoes go into the pot.

Looks amazing! Thank you for not just teaching recipes but also cooking techniques. Love that about your videos

[petercarroll]

Wow … looks great … but no cheese?? Your videos are awesome and you are a fine teacher

[tonyedward]

Looks great, the challenge is using a less expensive cut like chuck takes longer to get tender, this was once a peasant's way to eat steak.

Why did it take you 10 minutes to say "Simmer pounded steak in pedestrian basic sauce"? This isn't a recipe, it's slop.

This was nice, but it takes too long, I don't feel like it was worth the time it took, but maybe I don't love food enough
